Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| G&M: A soft, classic sherry nose. It abounds with damsons, Turkish raisins, and a dry, almond nuttiness. |
| Taste |
| G&M: In the mouth, there’s bountiful dark chocolate, and espresso beneath ripe plums, apricot kernels and intense orange oils. Watchful dilution emphasises the almond and marzipan notes, developing the nose into a slightly sweeter proposition. Simultaneously, it punctures that perceptible alcohol strength on the neat dram. |
